Are there one or more places you can recommend visiting in or outside Copenhagen?

"Apart from being a lovely city, Copenhagen has the advantage of also having beautiful landscapes and attractive nature nearby. We are not talking about true wilderness, but even less can be quite enjoyable.

If you are up for an hour or two of transport – by car or by train and bus – it is worth taking a trip to Møns or Stevns Klint, or to the peninsula Røsnæs in West Zealand, or perhaps even across the Øresund to Skåne, where for example Kullens cliffs and Fyledalen are great excursion destinations.

You can also take a pleasant bike ride along Strandvejen and have a picnic in Dyrehaven north of the city.

My own preferred cycling destination is Kalvebod Fælled, a large, flat area on the western part of Amager, which was reclaimed during World War II and was for many years a closed military area. Now, apart from a bird reserve, it is open to everyone, and there is a fine network of paths for both cyclists and pedestrians. Especially in spring and autumn, there are many birds on the meadows, not least tens of thousands of ubiquitous barnacle geese.
Kalvebod Fælled also offers something as rare in Denmark as two self-sown birch forests, which are largely left to their own devices and have gradually reached a considerable height with a real primeval forest atmosphere.

I have bought an electric bike myself, so I can easily and at least once a week get out to the Fælled and follow the changing seasons. If I have just half an hour to spare, I like to take a trip to Frederiksberg Have."

Who’s your favourite Danish writer?
”I have always been fascinated by literature and languages, and this combined with a certain measure of wanderlust has led me to longer stays in Paris, Berlin and Budapest and accompanying linguistic skills at limited levels in French, German, Italian and Spanish - not Hungarian, however. "A finger in each pie" seems to be my motto, and I can list tap dance, folk dance, ballet and the ukulele on my CV. I have had many favourite writers though the years, but I always return to Hans Christian Andersen.”
